Analysis of Transport Phenomena

William M. Deen

Improved organization, including the establishment of a more integrative approach.

Mathematical techniques will be introduced more gradually to provide students with a better foundation for more complicated topics discussed in later chapters.

25% new examples and exercises, reflecting shifts in chemical engineering such as the increasing prominence of biological applications, the growing array of microsystem technologies, and the intense interests in membranes, thin films, and interfacial phenomena.

Covers more material than Leal's book, and has more real-world examples than Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot.

New Appendix B "Ordinary Differential Equations and Special Functions" provides a concise review of how to solve the differential equations most commonly encountered in transport problems.

Analysis of Transport Phenomena

Second Edition

William M. Deen

Description

Analysis of Transport Phenomena, Second Edition, provides a unified treatment of momentum, heat, and mass transfer, emphasizing the concepts and analytical techniques that apply to these transport processes.

The second edition has been revised to reinforce the progression from simple to complex topics and to better introduce the applied mathematics that is needed both to understand classical results and to model novel systems. A common set of formulation, simplification, and solution methods is applied first to heat or mass transfer in stationary media and then to fluid mechanics, convective heat or mass transfer, and systems involving various kinds of coupled fluxes.

FEATURES:

* Explains classical methods and results, preparing students for engineering practice and more advanced study or research* Covers everything from heat and mass transfer in stationary media to fluid mechanics, free convection, and turbulence* Improved organization, including the establishment of a more integrative approach* Emphasizes concepts and analytical techniques that apply to all transport processes* Mathematical techniques are introduced more gradually to provide students with a better foundation for more complicated topics discussed in later chapters
